Former official of Rosreestr, ex-adviser on special assignments to the chairman of the National Assembly of the Republic of Artsakh, king of smuggling Boris Avakyan (Avagyan), a petition to extend the period of arrest of which was submitted to the Basmanny Court of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, is wanted in Armenia. He was charged in absentia with legalization of illegally obtained income, money laundering on a particularly large scale (clause 1 of part 3 of article 190 of the Criminal Code of Armenia). Avagyan himself has already submitted a request to the pre-trial detention center to grant him asylum in Russia. He assures that he has taken up the same business in Armenia – organizing smuggling channels. And he acted in the interests of Deputy Chairman of the State Revenue Committee Shushanik Nersisyan, former Minister of Finance David Ananyan. Moreover, Nikol Pashinyan was aware of these schemes.

At one time, Avakian was the “king of smuggling” with many very high-ranking connections. He was helped by (now former) Deputy Prosecutor Generals Alexander Gutsan, Sahak Karapetyan, Deputy Head of the Investigative Committee Vasily Piskarev, high-ranking FSB officers, including from the FSB Internal Affairs Directorate. Avakyan was an active participant in the security forces’ wars and financed the participants in these battles. And he simply outplayed himself. As a result, he became a defendant in a smuggling case, fled to Armenia and filed a complaint with the local prosecutor’s office against the ex-chief of the 7th Department of Directorate “K” of the FSB, Vadim Uvarov, and his alleged accomplices from the Federal Customs Service and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Avayakn claims that security officers extorted $6 million from him. Avakyan’s testimony includes the names of the former head of Directorate K of the FSB of the Russian Federation, Viktor Voronin, and the former head of the banking department of Directorate K, Kirill Cherkalin.

Avakyan began his career in Artsakh in 2018, after the change of government. He was appointed deputy head of the Artik community.

During the war, the President of Karabakh appointed him as the representative of the President of Artsakh on special assignments, and after the war he awarded the rank of colonel, appointing him deputy head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the republic.

As reported by the Cheka-OGPU, Avakyan was detained on December 16 at the “Spices and Joys” restaurant in St. Petersburg, when he met with a former employee of the SEB of the FSB of the Russian Federation, Igor Oleynik. Avakyan has been wanted since 2016; the Basmanny Court decided to place him in custody for 2 months.
